Hiring engineers in blockchain is hard enough. Hiring senior frontend engineers with real experience in web3 products, a clean track record, and the ability to hit the ground running? That’s the kind of role that often sits open for months, just like this one did.
The company had tried to fill it before. They’d spoken to recruiters, pushed it on job boards, and tapped their network. Nothing stuck.
Everything changed when they worked with us at Bamboo X.
THE ROLE: A SENIOR FRONTEND ENGINEER WITH REAL BLOCKCHAIN PRODUCT EXPERIENCE
The brief was clear. The team wasn’t looking for a generalist frontend dev or someone new to web3. They needed someone who had already worked in a top blockchain company, built usable interfaces for live products, and could move fast without constant direction.
Strong engineering skills were just the start. The person also needed to think like a product owner, communicate clearly with design and backend teams, and understand the unique constraints of building in a decentralized space.
Other recruiters had tried. No one had delivered.
OUR APPROACH: QUALITY OVER QUANTITY, WITH TARGETED SOURCING
Instead of casting a wide net, we kept the search tight and intentional. We mapped out engineers at leading blockchain companies: people who were hands-on in frontend builds, had production-level experience, and weren’t just playing around with web3 tech, but living it.
We filtered hard. Only profiles with strong product instincts, clean execution, and proven delivery made it through.
Throughout the process, we stayed closely aligned with the client. Every candidate was surfaced with context, and feedback loops were tight.
the outcome: one right hire after months of going nowhere
